Lautaro Martinez is unlikely to be in the squad against Parma and Tottenham. A scan of the injured area discovered a haematoma in the soleus of the left leg, so it turns out that his left leg was more injured then first thought.
The first diagnosis was believed to be the reason that he was not available during Inter’s last game against Bologna. He is already on the road to recovery, but he’ll be re-evaluated in the next few days.
Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport highlights, that this news unfortunately comes at a bad time, with Inter’s next two games, against Parma and Spurs, only a few days apart from each other. Although, they’re luckily both being hosted at the San Siro.
Spalletti would have been hoping to use Lautaro against Parma, so Icardi was fully fit for Spurs, since he returns from international duty with Argentina on Thursday, just two days before the first game. However, Lautaro will once again have to wait for his chance. Meaning, it’s looking likely that Keita Balde will once again be at the centre of attack, having just played and scored for Senegal in friendly.
